A partner at Allen & Overy will face a disciplinary tribunal later this year over his role in drafting a controversial non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein.

Mark Mansell was due to appear before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) on 3 June, however this was cancelled. The SDT has now confirmed that the employment law specialist will now make his first appearance on 5 December.

Allen & Overy advised the US entertainment company co-founded by Weinstein, Miramax, while Perkins was, at the time, represented by Simons Muirhead & Burton. She accepted £125,000 in damages as part of the settlement with Miramax.
